CASA is a community response to child abuse.
We rely on the community to support our work with children.

The For CASA Children Fund was formed by volunteer advocates who were aware that many of the children who enter the court system are unable to enjoy the most basic things in life that other children can take for granted. School supplies, sports equipment, classes in dance or music are just a few of the things the For CASA Children Fund can provide for children.
The For CASA Children Fund is a resource which can be easily accessed by CASA volunteers, social services, mental health workers and others, to meet the needs of a child. The fund will include both in-kind contributions of services and products as well as cash contributions. The fund is managed by CASA.
Here are a few wonderful examples of how the For CASA Children Fund has helped bring joy to the hearts of CASA's kids.

- A six year old boy has been reunified with his mother. She has become a very protective and concerned mother and has worked diligently to do all the court has asked of her. Her son did not do well in foster care and his mother is very important to him. The CASA feels that it is crucial that the mother and son build a trusting relationship with each other. The child loves to climb, so the CASA suggested the mother and her son take rock climbing classes together at Pacific Edge Climbing Gym. The For CASA Children Fund provided an opportunity for the mother to show her son that she is there for him.
- A CASA is helping a high school senior apply for college. Before she goes, the teen girl really wanted senior pictures and a yearbook. Thanks to the For CASA Children Fund, she got both.
- Two boys love to ride bikes but when they moved from one foster home to another, their bikes were left behind. The CASA has tried and tried to get them back. The boys just want to ride! The For CASA Children Fund provided funds for two new bikes.
